5/5 The wrestling was the best
  by Robert D. Larkin (Indianapolis, IN)
What's funnier than a 350 lb man chasing a weird asian chick around a wrestling ring. Rob Busboom is the next Chris Farley. Need I say more. They try everything to make you laugh and that's what so funny! Great movie!

5/5 Wacky Asian Comedy
  by Jeff Summers (LA, CA)
Wacky, good natured comedy...I'm not that familiar with Asian comedy, but it reminds me of the few Asian comedies I have seen. Like Hong Kong action cinema copies American gangster films of the 30's and 40's, this broad comedy has roots in American slapstick comedies of the same period. Cheryl is a riot and it has a good cast of familiar Hollywood character actors...what the heck, give it a try and laugh out loud !

3/5 Funny and Entertaining Indy
  by Stephen E. Davis
I was very entertained watching "Rice Girl"--I smiled or laughed all the way through. Cheryl Monk's facial expressions were precious--so much fun to watch. Fairly impressive cast for an Indy film with Pat Morita and Dean Haglund. Eddie's character was a clever use of anthropomorphism in switching between animal, human, AND guardian angel--quite cute.

My only concern: to enjoy this movie, one must appreciate the occasional sideline comedy "shorts" spread throughout the movie. It will probably be hard to find them all funny, but still clever nonetheless.


5/5 Rice Girl gets 5 stars
  by Mike D. Fulmer
One of the funniest most refreshing movies I've seen in awhile. Cheryl Monk and her crew kept me in stiches through the whole movie. Not only that Cheryl is a very pleasurable woman to look at. Even the Fish had me laughing....Pat Morita too. Definitely a movie for the whole family...I still think about it and chuckle out loud.

5/5 Prettier Woman
  by tmp (Solar System, MA USA)
A little like a more sweet-natured Asian version of "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka", "Rice Girl" manages to mix up "The World of Suzie Wong" and about a dozen Chop-sockey shoot-em ups, and still manages to be a movie with genuine wit, heart and humor. You laugh at the movie, but you're laughing with the characters, not at them. Cheryl Ling is a genuine hoot as the eponymous heroine Windy Yee, so determined to get the title role in the movie "Hooker X" that she's willing to go (almost) all the way to do her research. This puts her in the way of Martin Kove and Ian Lithgow, undercover cops who blithely (and hilariously) explain their peculiar take on the pimp look (Mary Kay pink deVille, and clothes that look like a cross between the old duffer department at Sears and the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders) by announcing they're from Texas. Naturally, Ian falls for our Rice Girl- who wouldn't?

There are very few false noted in this movie- the cast is obviously having the time of their lives: Martin Kove has more fun in 5 minutes with a powdered donut than any of the actors in the past 5 movies I've seen has, and Pat Morita's delivery of the line "It's FRIED RICE you pdick!" had me laughing out loud. I also really respected that this movie actually had the stones to gently suggest that perhaps selling one's body might not be the healthiest thing to do, physically or morally, but still never, ever isn't light, frothy and hugely fun.

I love finding independant movies like "Rice Girl": this is the best of Hollywood. It's not as slick as what you're going to find at the google-plex, but it being a little raw is part of it's charm. Plus, you can discover performers like Cheryl Ling while reveling in watching pro's like Martin Kove and Pat Morita given the grren light.

Worth every penny- buy this right now!
